Public Protest Event Detection in Turkish

80 news events/articles occurred between 2015 and 017. Each event is listed with its origin date, place, news url, public-reaction category, and reaction tags.

Protest labels are determined in terms of dimensions and directions.

Dimensions are in terms of national, local, and social media. National categories represent public reactions occurred in at least two different cities. Local categories have events occurred at only a specific place. Social categories represent reactions that people share opinions only in social media, such as microblogs.

Directions are either negative or positive.

Overall, there are 7 classes:

national positive
national negative
local positive
local negative
social positive
social negative
no reaction
